3 second rule, Caps

DC Sports Nexus ---- Tuesday, April 24, 2012

Hey Caps fans, tomorrow's game 7! Which means, if the Caps crap the bed, I'm going to have to root for the Kitties and/or Rangers. And trust me, you don't want that to happen. So, I've come up with a new rule!

This is the rule of threes, they're supposed to help prevent the Bumble Bees from scoring and help the Caps move on to the second round.
Rule #1: If the puck is in the defensive zone, CLEAR IT! Ice it, actually try to score, I dont' care get it out.
Rule #2: When going into the offensive zone, make sure there are at least three guys on the attack. This will help create the magical triangle and more chances on net.
Rule #3: When three Bruins are skating down the ice, get your butts in your zone to help Holtby! He can't do it all by himself, folks.
Rule #4: If you have less than three goals, ACT LIKE YOU HAVE NONE. Don't go into a defensive shell because this will eventually lead to the Bruins catching up. Really, no lead is safe, but three is usually safe.

If the Caps can follow those golden rules, they'll win and hopefully, tell the Bruins where they can stick it.

Prediction: Someone's going to be drop kicked off the island tomorrow.

The Origins Of This Blog: Prior to this season I had only watched a handful of hockey games. I never really liked watching hockey and I pretty much hated the NHL. Coming in I knew the basics of the game from playing NHL '94 back in the day, but wasn't really aware of how the game really worked. I didn't know half the penalties, I didn't know that a few teams existed or didn't exist, and I was easily frustrated by many things that happened in the NHL. (Icing, Trapezoids, Biscuits, Twigs, Blue Jackets, Plus/Minus, Goons...AHHHH) However, when my beloved NBA was in danger of being locked out for an entire season, that was my cue to force myself to watch something that I previously semi-despised. That brings us to today. I am now a die hard Capitals fan...I now know a bit about hockey...but I still have a long way to go.
